Ultrastar™ C10K900 is a 2.5-inch 10,000 RPM hard drive that leads the industry with 18%

faster sequential and up to 17% random performance than the nearest competitor. The

high-performance SAS 6Gb/s interface delivers data reliability, availability and scalability

and is the only small form factor SAS drive in the industry to pack a 64MB cache buffer for

optimized read/write response time.

Power management innovations designed into the Ultrastar C10K900 enable industry-

leading power efficiency, up to 28% better than competing drives, and translate into

reduced power requirements and lower cooling costs. HGST Advanced Power Management

technology, with multi-state idle modes, maintains compatibility with the INCITS T10

Technical Committee standards direction and can be pre-programmed or manually

initiated in the system. Ultrastar C10K900 continues the HGST tradition of environmental

leadership with its halogen-reduced components and focus on low power consumption,

and carries the HGST EcoTrac classification.

Ultrastar C10K900 delivers a massive 900GB of storage space and enabling lower total cost

of ownership for many enterprise environments, especially networked storage arrays. When

faced with space and power limitations, the Ultrastar C10K900 is an efficient solution for

online transaction processing, intensive data analysis and multi-user applications. Some

models of the C10K900 also offer Bulk Data Encryption for hard-drive-level data security.

These self-encrypting models are designed to the Trusted Computing Group’s Enterprise

A Security Subsystem Class encryption specification and allow customers to reduce

costs associated with drive retirement and extend drive life by enabling swift and secure

repurposing of drives.
